NTFS permissions repair

by brianaaa12 . Updated 16 years ago

Greets,

I was working on a machine that had some adware/virus and other garbage on it. In order to get at some of the data/folders I pulled the HD and attached it to my tech computer. My intention was to empty the Temp folders under the users home folder, however it wouldn’t let me in the folders due to permission settings. So, I took ownership. Bad idea. When I put the drive back in the customers computer, things were whacked, to put it simply. Is there a process or a utility to restore default permissions to the entire directory structure? This is an XP Home machine with two user accounts, both are administrators.
